Does that qualify as a "keyboard ricer"? :p Just kidding, man. :)

I have TweakUI. My GeForce cards are slightly overclocked. Black cases with windows. Anime case badges. 'Bout it, really. Most of my enhancements are hardware/performance related.

Nice, how do you like the dual monitor setup? Have been thinking about it for a while, just not sure if I will like it or not.

I love it, theres a few times when the setup really shines:

AIM buddy list always viewable
iTunes always viewable so you know whats playing next
have multiple IM windows open while still working
Internet open on one monitor, and typing oin Word on another
photoshop, you can keep your tools on one monitor and your psd work on another.

Plus its impressive and gives you geek status.

I havent figured out how to stretch a widescreen movie across it yet, still working on that one.

btw, they're both at 1024x768, 3:2 aspect ratio, combined 3:1

Well, i got extra chunky peanut butter on the internet vent on my minotaur. It makes me pwn at CS. Headshot everytime, cause i'm at like, 56k.

ZOMG!! Your 'puter roxors teh interweb 4 sure! :icon16:

I don't really have any shiny case mods or clear windows or LED fans or water cooling systems. What I DO have is a dual-monitor setup backed by a PCI-Express based mobo with an Athlon64 packed into an 8-bay server case with active fan monitoring/failure alarm, two SATA HD's. locking front door, rail slides, and the tendency to eat small children who get too close to it.

Y'know, I might qualify myself. I have an EluminX keyboard that's almost identical to that. Membrane keyboard like a laptop that's backlit. Awesome keyboard and I've been very pleased with it. Had it almost three years now. :)

Ah thankyou, I've been looking for a illuminated keyboard and only found small keyboard size ones. Looks like im picking up a saitek eclipse. How much did it set you back?

Nice. I didn't know they were making backlit standard sized keyboards now. I couldn't find any at the time I bought this one though I must say I've been pretty happy with it and it's pretty quiet when I type on it.

I'm curious too - how much did it cost? Where did you buy it?

found a deal for $43 shipped from dell. It normally runs around 50ish. Just look it up on pricegrabber. Also check out this review:

Outstanding. I may have to grab one of those eventually. :) As much as I love the keyboard I have, I do enjoy a full keyboard at times. Thanks for the info. :D

Yeah, once I get some extra money I'll be sure to purchase one. There awesome. And even though I can usually type w/out light or looking at the keyboard, it will help for when Im being lazy and stuff. One more question. How bright is it. I have been having problems where bright lights give me headaches, probably need glasses. Thanks.

it has a button that controlls 3 brightness settings bright/medium/off so if the bright setting is too much the medium is far more mellow.

Nice thanks for the input. I'll buy it after I buy new headphones.

Take the cpu fan off and clean the fan and the cpu itself?

Well if it doesn't work then its just going to collect dust anyways, heh..
